A mail-rider was also killed by them near the same place, and the report that General Jessup had captured 400 of the Seminoles is contra dicted. The Florida war, therefore, seems as far from being at an end as ever. The Secretary of War has issued a report, in which he com plains of the very inefficient state of all the fortresses on the sea-board. General Scott appends a letter to it, stating that five regiments of artillery and three of infantry are the mini mum force that would be required for the protection of the northern and eastern frontier ; and that at least 10,000 men would be required for the defence of the country in the event of a war. The Board of Navy Commissioners report that a proper naval force for the protection of the United States coast and fisheries should consist of 15 ships of the line, 2N frigates, 25 sloops, 25 steamers, and 25 small vessels of oar.

That the Subscribed present do form themselves into an As sociation, to be callOd the Club Cilatilbers AsgbCiatiotl: `2, That the provisional agreement for the purchase of the Crown lease of the premises, including thefixtures , and the freehold ground adjoining, for 20,0001. be confirmed ; and that the plan exhibited by Mr. Decimus Burton, having been approved of by her Majesty's Commissioners of the Woods and Works, be adopted ; subject to such variations as the Committee may, during its progress, d eem adviseable. In these plans it is provided that all the public pas sages and staircases shall be fire-proof, and every apartment enclosed within brick walls, thus ensuring perfect quietude and security to the residents. 3. That Mr. Burton having furnished a careful estimate of the cost of the building (which estimate he is prepared to substantiate) it appears, with reference to the rents which are commonly obtained for rooms in this neighbourhood, that the concern fairly holds out a solid expectancy of holding out a clear income, leaving at least eight per cent. to the shareholders. 4. That three per cent. shall, therefore, be regularly paid, half yearly, to commence from the Ist day of January, 1839, payable in the months of July and January following, as dividends to the Shareholders ; and that a general meeting be annually held for the production of the accounts, at which the surplus profits of the con cern shall be declared and divided. 5. That the entire management of the concern shall be confided to a Committee of the Shareholders, with an understanding that the arrangements of the house are to be conducted, so far as possi ble, in the manner of a club ; and that the tenants of the several apartments shall consent to conform themselves to such regulations as the Committee shall deem necessary for the easurance of strict decorum, and the perfect respectability of the establishment, so as to combine all the comforts of domesticity to its inhabitants, toge ther with complete security to the future interest of the vested ca pital of the Shareholders. 6. That the chambers being intended solely for the occupation of private gentlemen, no one can be admitted as a tenant if he there means to exercise any trade or profession whatever ; but that any person may hold Shares as an investment for their money. 7.

TEAM CAMRIACt and WAGGON COMPANY, For the Conveyance of Goods and Passengers throughout England. NEW Yone, MARCH 21.—The one subject 1,0 ytio of all engrossing interest will be without doubt the Canadian question. I am happy to tell you that there is very little to narrate upon that subject. The Canadas are quiet— the outbreak is quelled—the heroes of yesterday are the degraded of to-day. The braggarts of Navy Island are wandering about in holes and corners ; some are at large, and some in prison. Sutherland, the General self-styled, is, or was to have been, long before this, hung—a fate which he richly merits, and all are despised and contemned. The respectable portion of the American community ex pressed from the outset a proper opinion of the whole pro ceeding. Those on the borders of Canada were, it is true, half maddened by the outbreak, and party feeling tinctured their actions, which were in the highest degree reprehensible ; but not upon them rests the chief demerit of their proceedings. Upon the tern porising and wavering, if not wicked, policy of our Government must the blame be placed. The Government might have prevented all but the first ebullition of revolt against your Government, if they had been so inclined, but they were not. The Government here is highly unpopu lar. It thought, doubtless, that in the excitement which the war, or the chances of a war might occasion, its own acts would not be viewed with that close attention that they would avoid, and that the odious sub-treasury measure they have in contemplation, in the prosecution of which they have at least aided most materially to prostrate the energies of the mercantile community, might be smuggled through Congress. In proof of this, it is only necessary to state that as soon as it did rouse from its lethargy to a proper sense of its duty—as soon as it did think proper to act, and this in consequence of the deep-mouthed expression of the public journals, the outbreak was quelled. The Navy Island Mackenzie, Van Ranssallaer, Sutherland, and others, built upon the sympathy of our Government. Upon its back wardness to interfere they anticipated its friendly feeling and its secret, if not its open co-operation. This it was that induced them to break open our arsenals and to steal our arms. But when they found that the Government did act —when they found that General Scott was actually com missioned to demand immediate restitution of the arms taken—when they found that he was not to be trifled with—when they saw that they were thus placed between Scylla and Charybdis, they at once laid down their arms. From this you can have but little doubt that the policy of the Government has beenthe cause of the protracted excitement, and perilled a rupture between our country and your own. There is one point that gives great satisfaction here, and that is the mild measures of your Government in regard to the revolters. In England you can scarcely judge, from the nature of your institutions—at least the Tories cannot—of this proper policy for a country which, like Canada, borders so nearly upon a republic. They might, indeed, but for their bigotted blindness, feel assured that if their iron-handed measures have in England be come odious, here they could not be endured at all. Sir F. Head has given dissatisfaction by his remarks upon leaving Canada ; they were ill-timed. Sir Francis has judged too prematurely of the Americans, and suffered his feelings to oversway his judgment. Some all owance is made for him with us. In taking leave of this subject lam happy that the weeping and wailing at the west end will be hushed—that Piccadilly will no longer present a picture of affliction—that the lamentations in May-fair will cease, and that the eyes of the ladies of the supreme bon ton will not be dimmed. No, the guards are safe. The Yankee riflemen who might have joined the rebels will not pick off the Fredericks ; they will return to dance at Almack's with their Angelinas, or to praise with them the tonesof the Grisi, to dwell with rapture upon the Puritani, and, finally, to dwindle into the much-despised Pogroms, whom they now so much eclipse. There has been a very curious investiga tion carried on in this city. It is into the affairs of one of our banks, the Phoenix, instituted by the Board of Trade of this city with a view of depriving it of its char ter. The charge upon which the investigation is instituted is usury. The facts of the case are these :—Mr. Dela field, the former cashier and present President of the Board is also agent and shareholder to a great extent in a com pany called the Southern Life Insurance and Trust Com pany. This company is rich in funds, and when the bank has been unable to afford discounts, the cashier has been able to afford facilities. How far this may open a door for the transaction of irregular business, you will learn from one case which appears in this development. Messrs. Grannis, merchants of this city come to the bank for immense discounts to sustain their cre dit, and carry them through their difficulties. The bank cannot aid them to the extent they require. Mr. Delafield can. To carry them through, say the Messrs Grannis, they promised to give Delafield 20,000 dollars as a bonus, of which they deposit in his hands two bills of 5,000 dollars each, drawn at six months. In the investi gation, Delafield denies that these notes were received as a bonus, but only as a collateral security. There can be little doubt, however , fr om the testimony, that they were originally received as a bonus. Messrs. Grannis again say they thought all the transactions with Mr. Delafield were with the Phoenix Bank. The evidence here, however, noes to show that such construction could not be formed in reason, and that they must have known with Mr. De lafield he was acting alone. This knowledge would not answer the purpose of Messrs. Grannis, the Board of Trade, &c., who have been determined to make this a bank transaction if possible, in order that the bank might lose its charter, and their great liabilities to it might be, as they would be, cancelled on the plea of usury. The Le gislature at Albany will shortly decide upon the matter ; but there is no doubt but that the Bank wil conic out scatheless. LONDON and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

The practicability of running steam-carriages upon common roads with a degree of rapidity far beyond the utmost speed of horses in draught, and at from one half to a third less cost, has long since been proved by the Report of a Committee of the House of Commons, after a most minute and searching inquiry. This opinion has since been confirmed by some of our most talented engineers, amongst whose names will be found that of the late Mr. Telford. Those who are acquainted with the history of the steam engine, from its earliest infancy down to the period when Messrs. Bolton and Watt effected their invaluable improvements, those who in later times have seen the obstacles which impeded steam navigation, and are acquainted with the degree of perfection to which it has now been brought, will not readily fall into the error of concluding that because the attempts to run steam-carriages upon common roads have hitherto been unsuccessful, that that object is unattainable. Mechanical men have long agreed.that the paramount means of ensuring success was the constructing a boiler having such a dispo sition of its parts as would rapidly produce the most dense s team, combined with such strength as permanently to resist the utmost internal pressure, and all possible external collision, whilst the ma chinery should be so arranged as that the concussions and agita tions of the common roads should not operate upon it prejudicially. Sir James C. Anderson, Bart., after many years of study and persevering application, has succeeded in perfecting a boiler pos sessing these invaluable properties ; and has also devised a simple and effective arrangement of the machinery for applying its power to the propulsion of carriages. Feeling confident that the difficulties which prevented the adop tion of this most important improvement in our internal communi cation have at length been overcome, the Directors of the Steam Carriage Company have made arrangements by which the Com pany will possess the exclusive right of using Sir James C. Ander son's Patent Steam Carriage upon common roads, as also the boiler for all locomotive purposes in England. A carriage is nearly completed, and will be speedily submitted to such proof as the Directors may require, and will be kept in repair for twelve months free of expense to the Company. The boilers of all the carriages will be msintained in good repair for the first twelve months at the sole cost of the Patentees, who seek no payment or remuneration until the first carriage shall have been proved to the full satisfaction of the Directors. The Patentees will keep in repair, at a certain mileage, any number of carriages which amount of expenditure, and reducing the profits to a certainty. may be required by the Company ; thu s determinin g the No capital need be sunk beyond the cost of each steam-drag and carriage, as they may be required ; and as each gets into work, an immediate return will be made upon the capital invested. As a profitable investment for capital there is not the slightest doubt that this undertaking offers much greater advantages than any that has been brought before the public for many years. So far as regards the probability of this mode of conveyance ob taining the patronage of the public, it should be observed that the following causes will operate to bring it into use. The preference now given to canals and waggons for the trans port of goods shows the appreciation by the commercial world of cheapness in comparison with speed, but by this mode of conveyance cheapness and speed will be united. Passengers or goods destined for the towns established on the turnpike r oa d s w ill d er i ve cons id era bl e a d van t age from the steam carriages passing through them, thereby, so far as regards those roads which come in competition with lines of railways, compen sating for the difference of speed by avoiding the inconvenienee of getting from the stations on the railways to the places of destination. It is very probable that railways will be limited to a certain num ber of grand lines, the vast cost of laying down railroads rendering a profitable return doubtful except in cases where the traffic is very great. Supposing that railroads should be laid down upon all the main lines, and found to answer the object intended, the steam-carriages will be invaluable adjuncts, as supplying the place of railroads from the places lying between the railways, thus forming tributary streams of passengers and goods to the grand lines. Passengers and goods can be conveyed by these carriages at double the average speed of horses, and at half the expense, and at the same time realise a very large profit to the Company. Decrease of expense will, therefore, it may be fairly presumed, not only materially increase traffic, but ensure the patronage of the Public.

It is with feelings of sincere sorrow that I announce to you the presence of an enemy on our western and solith-western borders far more dreadful than the sword—far more iatal than the bullet ; an enemy that hurries man with a sudden aNI tar rifle agony into the presence of his Creator, without the grov= deur and exciting magnificence of war which robs the grisly king of more than half his terrors, and renders the closing scene of mortal life—in the strife of the battle-field--a scene of heroism, if not also a scene of honour and of glory. I allude to pestilence in its direst form, though as yet it has been es, elusively confined to the Indians—a doomed race This mortal plague is said to be precisely the same as the " Black Death" which raged so fatally in Engis,md and in Europe some five or six centuries ago. It attacks the head and loins suddenly, and with dreadful pain ; and in Ova two hours the victim falls a corpse. The body then swells enor mously, and turns instantly black. You will form some 31:,ea of the fearful progress and havoc of death on the prairies/. when I tell you that within a few weeks more than s3,ooit savages died. Of a lodge of 1,600 Mandans (a noble tribe). only 35 remained alive ; 10,600 Assineboins have died ; and deserted wigwams, newly-made mounds, or putrifying corpses, attended only by the croaking raven and the screaming eagle, mark the mournfal desolation of the Indian forests and prai ries. The Crows and Black-feet, so eloquently described in Irving's " Astoria" and " Rocky Mountains," have suffered dreadfully ; and more than one of the smaller tribes have been summoned, man, woman, and papoose, to the tribunal of Maui toulin, the Great Spirit, not one remaining to tell that they were once a nation of warriors! The disease is supposed to have originated from small-pux amongst the traders, and from them to have been communicated In the Indians, where it soon appeared in the aggravated form of " The B ans, were No less than sixty-three vessels from foreign parts arrived in the port of New York on Saturday hit. I fact, the Nea- Yorkers arc in high spirits in consequence of the improve ment of trade. Even the Canada war is regarded as a fortu nate circumstance in a commercial point of view (not other wise) ; and the New York Express of Monday says—" The Canada civil war is now, curiously enough, a god-send to the commerce of the country ; 10,000 British troops, with a whole retinue of the first noblemen of the empire being about to come over here, must be fed and must be paid. The,negotia tion for paying them, in all probability, will take place in New York.

( From the American Correspondent of the Morniny Chronicle.) PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 10.—Now that Macken4 , , and his " most wise and virtuous compeers," and the thr,s.atening alarms of war are no longer heard upon the gale, J avail myself of the subsiding excitement and returning repos.; to address you on subjects which cannot fail to possess a deep interest for all the European population that may intend Ttl3.• turing across the wide Atlantic to seek for home, happincis, and fortune in this highly favoured and prospering Republic. I allude to Emigration and the Alien Laws of this country. It is not my intention to dwell at any great length in the way of comment, but to proceed right ahead" into the mar. row and facts of - the case, leaving conclusions to the reader. First, then. I will endeavour to show the extent of emigration to this country from the Old World ; and, secondly, I will put you in possession of a brief epitome of the laws of the general Government, as well as those of every State, so far as they affect the political privileges and the holding of property in the Republic by aliens. With reference to the extent of emigration, it will be readily seen from the followim , table of the arrival of emigrants in the port of New York only for the last eight years:- 1829 15,064 1830 30,224 1831 183 9 1833 ... ...... 1834 48,110 1835 33,303 1836.. . .

Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at,the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as resider vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the crgan, with the additional equally impor tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes of common glasses ; in snort, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their superior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who (among many others) have given them their unqualified approba tion ; F.

From the News and SUNDAY GLOBH, Aug. 27, 1837. One of the most splendid discoveries of the present age is now univer.. pally admitted, by the testimony of the most unquestionable authorities, to be GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF. This fine herbaceous compound far sur passes anything before offered to the world ; and from its salutary effects on those who habitually use it, i may be truly esteemed a national bless. big. The time has been, when every third man you met in the streets, glared at one through the medium of spectacles, or protected his visual organs by shades of various hues and shapes. Verily the past was a blinking generation ! We ask, is it so now? Every one must empha tically answer, "No !" To what can this miraculous change be attri buted but to the immense consumption of Grimstone's Celebrated Snuff, 'which affords certain relief in every affection of the Eyes.

The results were : —Patriots, 9 killed, 40 wounded, and 20 taken prisoners. Royalists, s killed and 28 wounded. A letter from Sandusky to a gentleman in this city states that the patriots abandoned the place on the approach of the British, but a company of the 32d regiment having made a detour to intercept their retreat, they were compelled to fight, and after returning the British fire for about eleven minutes, although in disorder, they were charged with the bayonet, and the above are the results. The letter makes out their loss to be more than double the number returned as killed, but as the writer could not state the fact with accuracy, it is possible that his report might be in error. It ought to be distinctly understood that the assemblage on Point au Pelle is the last body of invaders that we have heard of as having been in arms against Canada. I sincerely hope, therefore, that we may now drop the curtain over the final scene of the bloody tragedies on the frontier. Lord Palmerston took a very just and philosophic view of the frontier disturbances, in his place in Parliament, where he said that "he thought the House might trust tint, although there might have been, on both sides, acts committed not con sistent with the laws, and in violation of treaties that existed between the two countries, the [louse might confidently trust that nothing had taken place to prevent the friendly relations which existed between Great Britain and the United States." His Lordship's sentiment in this particular is precisely that of the respectable, the thoughtful, and the influential portion of the community in America. It is evidently responded to, bath by the Government and the people, with the exception of those reckless adventurers who were persuaded by Mackenzie and his confederates to join in the Quixotic and hopeless ex pedition against the British provinces, which has resulted in the misery, the defeat, the wounds, and the death of so many of the deluded, misguided, and miscalled " patriots." Again and again do I assure you that the citizens of this country, as a body—with the exceptions I have named—the respectable portion of the press, the Government, Congress, and especially the merchants of the republic, have viewed the frontier pro ceedings with mingled sorrow and indignation. Mackenzie is canvassing New York and the Atlantic cities for subscribers to a new paper, which he is about to establish in New York. In his prospectus he states that it is to be do• voted to English, Scotch, Irish, and Canadian politics, and that it will in no way intermeddle with the affairs of the United States. Other advices have arrived from the Gulf of Mexico, stat ing that the Mexican fleet are blockading the ports of Texas. But, with reference to the ultimate success of the Mexicans, I do not believe the Texians have much to fear, as they are said to be in strict alliance with a powerful nomadic nation of sa vages, who have been hostile to the Hispano- Mexicans ever since the days of Cortez ; and so brave and successful have they proved against the conquerors of Montezuma, that they have now vindicated their rights and preserved their freedom for more than three hundred pears. I allude to the Cumanche Indiana. They are peculiarly warlike, wild, and sanguinary, and they may be termed the Tartars or Arabs of the Ameri can continent, as they continually live a wandering life in and about Texas. For the last century they have been the scourge and terror of the frontier provinces of Mexico, owing to an event which is said to have taken place about A. D. 1699 0 1701. A large party of them went to• the sea-shore, where they were attacked and all slaughtered by the Spaniards. The Cumanches have never visited the sea-shore since ; but they have taken an oath, like that of Hannibal, against all the Spa nish race ; and hence they have gladly allied themselves to the Texians. Dangerous confederates ! Their warriors are all splendidly mounted, and as horsemen, they are not surpass'ed by any people in the world. I believe the arrivals in 1837 to he about 66,000; and in the entire Union at least 100,000. The worldly condition of the emigrants is shown by returns of 1836. In 1836 there arrived in the United Statics 60,93 . 2, 51,942 males, and 29,010 females. Of the above passengers there were born In the United States 4,014 Great Britain and Iceland .•• 47,79'e British American Colonies Germany France Prussia Switzerland Dentuark llolland 298 N,e.exieo Mete' 693 Cuba •• 516 Other CoAntriC3 These landed at-- New York 56,573 (6°,341 Baltimore New Orleans Boston Philadelphia Portland 1,621 Pdssamaquoddv 1,471 All other ports Add to these 10,000 via Canada, Mr. Dolan asserted on Saturday lest in the Pennsylvania Convention that the specie broeght by these emigrants would average 60 dollars, or 12/. a-head. Thus the emigrants e n riched the country, in 1837 , to the extent of at; out 1,200,0001, or 6,000,000 dollars. Those who arrive with small properties and go to the far west soon become rich farmers ; while many of tose who remain in the Atlantic cities become vagabonds, as the follow ing returns will show : Ia 1836 there were 1,270 paupers in Boston eleashouse -597 Americans, end 673 foreigners! In the same year there were 2,781 paupers in alaishouse.-1,515 American, and 1,266 foreigners ! A late repuet of the Aldermen of New ierk states that on the 12th of June, 1837, there were in the different pauper in stitutions of that city 2,453 persons, a majority foreigners. Th whole number under charge of the commissioners of the almshouse were, at that time, 3.074, three-fourths foreigners That out of 1,209 persons admitted at Belle Vue almshouse 982 were aliens ! So much for emigration! I now pass to the laws which affect emigrants. If an alien, arriving in this country, wishes to become a. citizen, he must apply to an officer of the proper court and declare his intention. He then takes an oath that such is Ilia intention ; and he states that he will forswear all allegiance to any other Government, Prince, or Potentate whatsoever, and obey and support the Government of the United State:. tic must then wait five years ; and if, at the expiration of that probationary period, he • have in all cases submitted to the laws. he is admitted, on application and proof of his good conduct, to all the privileges of citizenship ; can vote at elections, &c. Thus no person can become a citizen of the Republic, if an alien, under five years ; bet, while living under the laws of the United States, and especially after having ma'.:" his ti cleration, he is protected by, and subject to, those laws,. VP-i ,, P7 with natural-born citizens. By an Act of Congress it is declared that ehildrea of parents duly naturalized under the laws of the United Statree being under the age of twenty-one, shall, if (livening M ti e r United States, be considered as citizens. An alien cannot acquire a title to real property by de scent, or by any right created by other me re operation of laws ; but he may purchase land to take it by devise, theugfe he is exposed to the danger of being divested of the fee, and of having his lands forfeited to the state. If he die the inhe. rltance escheats of course. Ile may sell laud to a citizen, and the conveyance is good again st himself ; but the purehager takes it subject to the right o f Government to seize th e But acquiring, alien sm may take a a lease fur f n u s r m years, moveable property, in , and they are capable of like manner as the citizens of the United States, and they can bring suits for the recovery and protection of that property. An alien may take a mortgage upon the real estate fur tho security of a debt. If an alienedie before lie has taken any steps under the act of naturalisation his pet sons) estate gees
